Book Cover & Preview Text
Worship is our heart’s response to God. We should not limit our worship to church. We are the church, and we are a worshiping people. Worship incorporates all aspects of our lives, including running. Use the Mile 17 marker as a worship reminder. As you run, worship. As you worship, run.

About the Book
Running through Life explores twenty-six different characteristics that speak to the emotions and thoughts of marathon runners. In each chapter, author Tommy Bresson explores a characteristic that relates specifically to a certain mile in the marathon or to training in general. Using stories from his own life and examples from the Bible, Bresson illustrates the importance of these characteristics--not just while running the marathon but in life itself. Whether you are training for your seventeenth marathon or just curious about the sport, you will enjoy and be encouraged by the lessons Bresson shares. As you gain a clearer picture of who God is and how his character is revealed through stories in the Bible, you will find yourself challenged to reflect on how these various characteristics manifest themselves in your own life.
